Never went deep on microphones or mount eerie but now I am going deep. Listened to the glow pt.2 for the first time and it paralyzed me. Sat on my bed with noise cancelling headphones on and just sat still and listened. Musical paralysis, incredible stuff. This has also reignited my LOVE for Dear Nora, and why not throw some beat happening in there for a PNW triple threat.

I can’t tell you just how much this album changed the way I thought about things. As a 15 year old who was starting to realise that things i was experiencing weren’t just normal, i desperately needed an outlet and this album was the first step in that. I would walk around my school listening to this album on repeat, writing the lyrics on the inside of my work books, drawing the elephant on anything I could.
The music just didn’t sound like anything that had been done before. It was like the sounds were conjured up by a forest losing its leaves in autumn, bare and stripped back to the point of rugged danger. I didnt quite get it on first listen, it was like i wasn’t supposed to listen to it, it was too intimate and lonely. When I properly got acquainted with it, it carried me through mental health diagnoses, tough academic years and many a tough breakup.
Love you Phil <3

It’s what my basket is for, if it breaks then I’ll just die it’s not that serious. I don’t even have that many eggs to begin with. I grew up in a single-egg-basket-household, who are these people with multiple egg baskets, do they walk among us?

I feel like I’ve picked up so much good music by just instantly downloading an opening act’s album right after their set. Just saw Wishy at baby’s all right last night and they had a band called Plastic open up, tight band & tight name, I’m sold. I feel like too many people skip the opener and I get it it can get tiring but I already know I’m gonna like the headliner lemme get a nice little surprise. this has GOT to be my last music rec for a little bit…
